The Pink Panther comes across an unnamed housepainter (known as
the "Little Man") painting a house blue. Disgusted by the color blue, the Pink Panther swaps out his blue paint bucket with pink paint. What follows is a series of gags where the painter attempts to paint something blue, but each time Pink thwarts him in a new way, and paints the object/area pink - and all the while, the painter is completely unaware of the Panther's presence. After a repeat series of these gags, the painter finally catches an eyeful of the Pink Panther carrying his brush and bucket; enraged, the painter grabs a rifle and pursues Pink throughout the house. As the painter exits the house searching for his target, the Pink Panther, still inside the house, reaches out from a window and pours pink paint into the gun's barrel behind the painter's back. The painter aims his gun, but just before he fires, the Pink Panther shuts the window as a blast of pink paint shoots out from the gun and splatters onto the house. The painter continues shooting at the Panther, and, when all is said and done, the entire exterior of the house has been painted pink. Having had enough, the exasperated painter collects all of the Panther's pink paint cans and buries them in the ground. However, much to the painter's surprise, this causes pink grass, flowers, bushes, and trees to sprout from the ground outside the house, as a pink sun rises into frame in the horizon, turning the sky pink as well. Overjoyed at the sight of his dream house, Pink gives the disheartened painter a smooch of gratitude before proceeding to fetch his belongings and move into the house. But just before he enters his new home, he paints the white man completely pink. The painter bangs his head against the Pink Panther's mailbox outside in frustration as the content Panther strolls into his new house as the pink sun sets and the cartoon fades out. ==Academy Award==
